Hi, I’m Jelena — a Latvian woman, a single mom of two, and a storyteller living between cultures, islands, and identities.

I left Germany with two little kids, after break up, and a deep feeling that my real life was waiting for me somewhere warm.
I found it here — in the Philippines 🌴
This country didn’t just become my home — it woke me up. It made me sing again.

Now I live, learn, and grow alongside my kids — through ocean days, jeepney rides, local friendships, quiet heartbreaks and wild dreams.

On this channel, you’ll find:
✨ real island motherhood
✨ soulful reflections
✨ food, chaos, culture
✨ healing, laughter, and life with kids
✨ and a woman who’s still figuring it all out — but doing it out loud

Every video is filled with real love for the Philippines and for all the brave women choosing their own way.

Welcome. 💛
